A community dinner will be held at The Creek Whitsundays in July to help raise funds for the Edwards- Bland family who tragically lost their 12-year-old son Stirling in a car accident in May.
Stirling’s twin brother was also in the car and sustained serious injuries.
The event has been organised to wrap the family in a large community hug, with all proceeds, love and kind thoughts donated straight to the them at their time of need.
Jodie Ferdinand from The Creek Whitsundays said her son, Archie, had been one of Stirling’s good friends since grade 4 and they wanted to help his family through this difficult time.
Mel Butcher from Taylors has been working hard gathering items for the auction and Tolita Dukes from 8 Seconds has been volunteering her time with design work and social media posts.
Since announcing the fundraiser, organisers have been overwhelmed by the support from the community with many businesses donating prizes for the silent auction.
The night kicks-off at 5pm and Whitsunday Transit are providing three courtesy buses to ferry passengers out to the venue and back.
Held in the beautiful mountain backdrop of this rural venue, guests will enjoy a buffet dinner with live music from a guitarist followed by a DJ as the night progresses.
Metropole Bar will be operating with Happy Hour prices throughout the night and a silent auction will be led by Rob Murolo from Elders.
Amazing lucky door prizes will be announced every 30 minutes.
All proceeds go to the Edwards-Bland family and tickets can be purchased at Whitsundaytickets.com.au or call phone 0438750282 for further details.
